To effectively combat climate change, we need to acknowledge the role that the building industry plays in global CO2 emissions. We need to shift not only how we think about designing our buildings but also powering our communities. This course will discuss how BIPVs can be integrated into both new and old buildings to improve performance and aesthetics and lower energy costs. In this one-hour course, we will discuss the value of BIPVs as both a high-performance building material and green energy generating solar panels. The various systems BIPV can be integrated into. As well as the various benefits that building owners can realize by integrating BIPV into their projects.

Learn how wastewater energy is changing the sustainable energy landscape by providing consistent thermal energy for heating & cooling for apartment complexes, districts/TENs, geothermal installations and more. Add wastewater energy to your clean energy portfolio and gain an innovative edge in your clean energy building projects

What is wastewater energy recovery, and how does it apply to the future of energy efficiency and decarbonization? In this course, we will explore how this previously overlooked source of energy loss from buildings can be utilized to endlessly recover and recycle energy within projects ranging from individual multi-family residential buildings to commercial and industrial applications and even up to district energy networks. Wastewater heat recovery and transfer technologies used in small-scale and large-scale applications are also discussed, with case studies showcasing the practical applications and garnered benefits.

This course covers several aspects of the Tesla Ecosystem, Tesla Solar Roof (renewable energy generation), Tesla Powerwall (energy storage & back-up power), and Tesla Wall Connector (electric vehicle charging).
